A programme of extensive upgrade works has been carried out on Cambridge Road (from the A428 roundabout towards St Neots) to provide a new gateway to the town, as well as better walking, cycling and bus connections for existing and new residents at Wintringham, Love’s Farm and the next phase of Love’s Farm, known as Monksfields.
The upgrades include a roundabout at the Pelham Road junction (to replace the existing T-junction), three new junctions to serve the future Monksfields development, new cycle paths, bus stops/shelters and pedestrian crossing points. The new design provides a safer route for all users, and has enabled a 30mph speed limit to be introduced along the road.
The works also provided the utilities and infrastructure needed for future phases of Wintringham and the Monksfields development. The works also provide greater opportunities for active travel with cycling and walking for existing and new residents, as well as more access to bus stops and services.
By pulling these works together into one programme across the two developments, the road was kept open for all but the last week of works when the final connections were made, and should mean that no more major roadworks are needed along this stretch of Cambridge Road.
